MMA/circuits this morning.

I am having a bad day. First of all I was an hour early for my hair appointment then I walked out of the hairdressers on a lovely sunny day, it started spitting, by the time I got to the car it was hail and torrential rain and now I look like a drowned rat. I had lovely swisher hair ten minutes ago.

I've had a migraine since Wednesday so I didn't get to do much more than bed, work, kids, bed for the last few days. I just went for a 5k walk though and planning a run tomorrow. I really better get my ass back into running mode, I've a 10k in about 3 weeks Confused

Happy weekend everyone.

RJnomore1 · 13/05/2017 15:03

I've beaten you to the 100 oub! Really enjoyed colour me rad despite grim weather, we had a laugh, my calves hurt but held out n my cardio is sooo much better. We've got a few more fun runs we are going to sign up for now.

ENded up with two rest days. Just done in by the time I got out of work last night and then off to see a band tonight. Slightly stressed!! Will work extra hard tomorrow to make up.

LordPeterWimsey · 11/05/2017 20:25

Yoga Meltdown L1 and Ballet Beautiful outer thigh workout done. Two more workouts to do this week to meet target.

LordPeterWimsey · 10/05/2017 20:13

Biked to work and back, so now hit biking target for this week (40 miles, 4 hours - maybe I'll track my miles on here, it might make me feel a bit less gloomy about my pathetic attempts at staying fit). It's not very warm here, but warm enough for cycling to feel like a pleasure rather than a penance.

I'm not really sure whether or not to count yesterday. I didn't do any of my DVDs. I did walk about 5 miles though. I'll consider it a rest day.

Anyway, back to normal this evening: 30DS L2D7 & 6W6P L2D3.5

(74h 50min; 96/154)

Killer Body core workout done, plus DD wanted to do something with weights so we did a ten minute Popsugar upper body workout from YouTube (which was pretty bad: half the time the camera was focused on the curtains!). Planning to bike again tomorrow.

Kanye, building a patio absolutely counts!

RJnomore1 · 09/05/2017 19:04

I think building a patio definitely counts!

Kettlebell fitness

I'm getting excited, nearing three figures 😁

KanyesVest · 09/05/2017 17:56

Finally got some proper exercise today, weights workout at the gym. Did build a patio over the weekend if I can count that??

blodynmawr · 09/05/2017 07:35

Still JMing here. Various holidays coming up in May, July and August (5.5 weeks in total) so keen to keep up the routine through May and June!

Unplanned rest day yesterday - I was out all day and knackered when I finally got home.

Just done 30DS L1D6 & 6W6P L2D3

(74h 05min; 95/155)

RJnomore1 · 08/05/2017 20:07

Kettlebell sport class. MY coach is pushing the weights and the times up so it was a good hard workout tonight.

I love the idea of cycling to work but I'm too terrified on the roads.

97/153

LordPeterWimsey · 08/05/2017 19:03

Biked to work and back, so two hours' moderate exercise done!

RJnomore1 · 07/05/2017 18:18

Don't mind pain or strength based...😬 It's just heights that get me!

2m I think I can do. Thanks.

randomsabreuse · 07/05/2017 18:15

A frame is about 2 metres tall, ditto slide - so not horrendous fear of heights territory! Nothing strength based or painful.

Generally pretty tame - loads were walking - I'm not fast (67 mins being fastest 10k time ever) and I was passing loads of people from the wave 15 minutes ahead...

RJnomore1 · 07/05/2017 16:35

Are there any that would be a problem if you had a fear of heights? I did tough murder half last year and the climb ones pretty much had me in tears.

randomsabreuse · 07/05/2017 15:11

Pretty muddy was good fun - mud mostly contained in the obstacles, A frame, crawls under nets through mud, space hoppers and the slide at the end was fast.

There are some queues unless you're right at the front of the 1st wave (I was 2nd wave and had 5 people to wait for at the A-frame).

RJnomore1 · 07/05/2017 10:34

MMA circuits today. Really enjoyed it. Come home and think I'm having a visual migraine. Probably should get off my phone.

Still to check out the ballet workouts. On my to do list!

96/154

LordPeterWimsey · 07/05/2017 10:05

Killer Body upper body workout and Ballet Beautiful abs done. So I've done five good sessions this week, and I'm hoping to be back on the bike from tomorrow.
